The 268mph ’Sang Noir’ model, which has been limited by Bugatti to 257mph to
protect its tyres, is a unique example of the Super Sport – itself
restricted to just 30 models.

It is the most expensive car ever to be advertised – with the lucky owner
parting with £2.1 million for the keys and logbook.

But with the eye-watering price tag comes unbeatable performance.

The Super Sport is capable of 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds, 0-124mph in 6.7 seconds
and the ability to cover one mile in just 23.6 seconds.

These stunning figures come courtesy of the car’s quad-turbocharged 8-litre
engine which develops a colossal 1,200bhp – 200bhp more than a standard
Veyron.

This particular model was the second to roll off the company’s production line
in Molsheim and was the display car at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.

The first five models were intended to be exact replicas of the world
record-breaking model.

But the customer who specified this model loved the performance but wasn’t
overly fond of the design and opted to have his Super Sport in matt black
with a number of interior differences including orange seats.
